Description Traditional teaching instructs clinicians to classify dizziness as vestibular if the patient reports vertigo, cardiovascular if the patient reports presyncope, neurologic if the patient reports disequilibrium, and psychiatric or metabolic if the patient reports non-specific symptoms. It is unknown whether patients can describe their symptom quality well enough to be classified as one of the four 'types' of dizziness.
